Chapter 123 The Demon Emperor Offers a Plan (Second Update)
A day passed in the blink of an eye. Zhang Lingyu and the others had mostly packed their things and were about to follow the three True Immortals to aid Tianliu City.
Before leaving, he met with Wang Lin and his wife one last time.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, it seems the jade pendant you gave me is probably useless."
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Zhang is absolutely right. I was just worrying for nothing."
Wang Lin was also very happy. He had prepared for the worst, but he didn't expect that Lingyue Mountain would actually be defended. Not only that, but three demon kings were killed and two were seriously injured, and the demon beasts could not gather together for a short time.
It can be said that the most difficult period has passed.
Moreover, they were lucky enough not to be selected to defend Tianliu City. They spent the rest of their time quietly guarding the city, waiting for the beast tide to completely end.
If it weren't for their duties, the couple would have loved to return to their sect immediately to see their daughter.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, if my Menghan truly possesses a spiritual aperture, would you be willing to accept her as your disciple?"
Seeing the couple's serious expressions, Zhang Lingyu smiled and said, "If it's true, feel free to come to my Zhang family. I will definitely accept Meng Han."
Despite being from a Golden Core sect, they had a feeling that their daughter would surely achieve great things with the other side.
"Alright, thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Zhang. The journey to Tianliu City is extremely dangerous, so please be careful." Wang Lin and his wife were overjoyed, but thinking about what was to come, they still gave him some careful instructions.
"Thank you for your concern, fellow Daoist. I understand."
Zhang Lingyu had already checked the intelligence system and found there was no danger on the way. So he waved goodbye and said, "Fellow Daoists, farewell."
Until we meet again.
Meanwhile, in the core area of the Wanling Mountains.
Three men stood with their hands behind their backs on a mountaintop, gazing at the distant Tianliu City.
The one in the middle nodded slightly and smiled, "Fellow Daoists, what did you think of the strength of the Six Sects after your battle with Yang Li and the others?"
"These human Nascent Soul cultivators are quite powerful; no wonder they were able to withstand our attacks hundreds of years ago."
The burly man on the right chuckled and said, "It's a pity that if it weren't for that formation keeping us outside the city, we could have tried to kill one or two of them."
.
"Hehe, fellow Daoist, don't underestimate them. All six sects have their own lineages. I heard that their founding patriarchs came from the Central Plains and also obtained some of the foundation of the Tianliu Sect from thousands of years ago. They must have some tricks up their sleeves."
"Oh? You come from Zhongzhou? I've never heard you mention me before, Fellow Daoist Jiuling."
The burly man was slightly surprised and was about to ask further questions when a demon walked out of the mountains. It was the Blood Demon King. He knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice, "Three Demon Emperors, the Black Tortoise has come to deliver a message."
"Oh?"
The three demon emperors turned to look at the burly man in front of them, signaling him to continue.
"The three demons failed in their attack on Lingyue Mountain. They were preparing to continue their attack after resting in the inner area. Unexpectedly, human reinforcements arrived and attacked Qingfeng Mountain, catching them off guard."
"The Xuan Turtle and Blood Drinker escaped with serious injuries, but the Azure Phoenix was killed by a magic weapon. Now the Xuan Turtle is asking what to do next."
After the two great demon kings of the Xuan Turtle fled back to their respective homes, they dared not immediately go into seclusion to heal their injuries. Instead, they first reported the situation to the Demon Emperor. If they ignored it, they would surely suffer the consequences after the beast tide ended.
"What a piece of trash!"
The Nine Spirits Demon Emperor's face instantly darkened, his good mood ruined.
In fact, he didn't expect the three Xuan Turtle demons to be able to break through Lingyue Mountain; he just hoped to entangle more human cultivators.
Now, things have gotten worse; they not only failed to keep the man, but also lost a subordinate.
Now that the Golden Core cultivators of Lingyue Mountain are free, they will inevitably head to Tianliu City to reinforce it, making the attack even more troublesome.
"Please, Demon Emperor, calm your anger!"
Although the Blood Demon King said this, he was secretly pleased with himself. A few years ago, when he attacked Tianliu City, although several demon kings, including Xuan Turtle, came to help, they never put in their best effort during the battle.
Even when they were finally escaping, they didn't care about themselves at all, only about saving their own lives.
Now, he has annihilated Black Wind Ridge with his Blood Fiend, redeeming himself from the previous humiliation and becoming the Demon Emperor's trusted general.
Instead, they became the demons awaiting punishment.
The Nine-Spirit Demon Emperor cursed a few times, venting his anger, and then ordered, "Blood Fiend, go and send a message to the Black Tortoise and Blood Drinker, telling them to immediately gather all the demons and join us on the outskirts in three days to attack Tianliu City together."
In these extraordinary times, and with two demon kings present, he couldn't possibly impose any real punishment.
For now, we can only let them act as the vanguard and make up for some of the mistakes.
"Wait a minute!"
Just as the Blood Fiend Demon King was descending the mountain, he was stopped by the Spirit Vulture Demon Emperor on the left. The Spirit Vulture Demon Emperor said, "Fellow Daoist Nine Spirits, the two Demon Kings, the Black Tortoise and the Black Tortoise, have repeatedly failed to break through Spirit Moon Mountain. I think it would be better to let them go again."
"Oh? What insightful opinion do you have, fellow Daoist?"
The Nine Spirits Demon Emperor immediately became interested. This Spirit Vulture Demon Emperor and the Burning Feather Demon Emperor beside him were two demon emperors who came from the outside world.
It was because of the arrival of these two that he and the other three joined them in killing the Moon Shadow Demon Emperor.
"Fellow Daoist, you flatter me. I can't call it insightful; I can only offer an analysis of the situation."
The Spirit Vulture Demon Emperor continued, "Tianliu City is incredibly sturdy. It would be impossible to destroy it without the addition of the other three fellow Daoists. Whether there are two more or two less demon kings, it makes no difference."
The other three demon emperors he mentioned were located on the other side of the Wanling Mountains, mainly dealing with the various sects of the Chu Kingdom.
These three demon emperors all understood that Tianliu City could not be broken by the three of them alone. As for why they attacked, it was simply to take the opportunity to kill more Golden Core cultivators and try to severely injure or kill Nascent Soul cultivators, in order to prepare for the next millennium beast tide.
"Fellow Daoist, do you mean that since the human race believes the two Xuan Turtle demons are too badly injured to leave the mountain, and we are currently in Tianliu City and unable to spare any manpower to provide support, they will concentrate their forces to deal with us?"
"That's exactly what I mean!"
Seeing that the Nine Spirits Demon Emperor understood, the Spirit Vulture Demon Emperor continued, "Spirit Moon Mountain must be empty now. Behind the mountain lies a vast plain with countless sects and families. Once it is breached, it will greatly reduce the strength of the human race."
After all, their main task is to weaken the human race and force cultivators to fight fires everywhere, preventing them from focusing their efforts on dealing with them.
"Alright, Blood Fiend, tell Xuan Turtle and the others to attack Spirit Moon Mountain again. If they fail this time, they'll have to answer to you with their heads!"
"Yes."
Blood Fiend was about to descend when he was stopped once again. The Spirit Vulture Demon Emperor laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist Nine Spirits, there's no need to rush. Attacking now will only alert the human race."
"I think it would be better to make an agreement with Xuan Gui and the others. It won't be too late for them to make their move when we attack Tianliu City. In addition, I will send a demon king to go with us. This time we will definitely be able to break through Lingyue Mountain."
With the two great demon kings of the Xuan Turtle severely injured, their ability to carry out their mission is uncertain. However, if another demon is added to the roster, he is almost certain of success.
"Fellow Daoist, your plan is excellent! We'll follow your suggestion!" The Nine-Spirits Demon Emperor laughed heartily, praising, "Humans say that we demons are all brawn and no brains. It's time to show them how you, Fellow Daoist, can outwit them."
Putting aside everything else, the Blood Fiend Demon King's ability to breach Black Wind Ridge was precisely due to the Spirit Vulture Demon Emperor.
This time, in order to inflict heavy losses on the human race, they have made ample preparations.
"Hehe, fellow Daoist, you flatter me. It's nothing more than the cause of the prosperity of the demon race."
"Besides, we still have that thing..."
